You shouldn't ever need to do a complete clone again, unless you did
something really strange. If you messed you local branches, then you can
recreate them from the remote branches or from the reflog which also
contains local changes. If you removed remote branches, you can simply
do "git fetch".

Yes, you can, with checkout/reset. But it's be a bit different compared
to svn because of git's index. "git status" gives you hints what to do.
To prevent confusion: if you want to revert a particular file, that is
currently in the index, you need to invoke 2 commands: reset && checkout
